Question for Atheists

[Faith No More]

I appreciate the insight. I'm still researching but it seems to me that suicide is typically a result of severe depression, which can result from a lot of different things. For a theist it's easy to point out God, Family, Country because I grew up in that environment. If those things can be "taken away" in an instant, most Christians would go into a severe depression which could absolutely result in suicide. I don't have much doubt in that. If a person wakes up one morning to find their country gone, family dead, and learns that God most certainly does not exist I can see a person taking the easy way out pretty quickly, can't you?

That's not quite true. People diagnosed as Bipolar are much more likely than those diagnosed with Major(Unipolar) Depression to commit suicide, and the majority of those Bipolar suicides are done when the person is in a manic state. It seems that a lack of stability is an even greater factor in driving a person to suicide than pure depression.

If you really are interested in the mindset behind suicide, you can PM me, because I have had some fairly in depth dealings with the subject that I may be able to help you with.
